Quote

I haven't heard anything from anyone in the administration.

Newspaper readership is declining like crazy. In fact, there's a good chance that nobody is reading my column.

Nobody in the Washington regulatory bureaucracy gets fired for saying no.

I was at the 1976 Republican Convention in Kansas City. I was running 'Nobody for President' at the time. I printed up these press releases and handed them out to the crowd at the Kemper Arena. 'Nobody keeps campaign promises.' 'Nobody lowers your taxes.' 'Nobody should have that much power.' 'Nobody is in Washington working for you.'

I don't write about my life in my column.

I didn't serve on a committee that dealt with foreign policy.

I have decided not to run for president.

I don't write policy for my government.

I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.

But no one has yet succeeded in reducing the size or scope of the federal government.
